Laying the foundation.
We are speaking here of spiritual foundation, the kind of foundation that God wants us to have. When we become a Christian our bodies belong to God and we must use the very best, for God to dwell in.
1 Corinthians, 3:11-12-13, " For other foundations can no man lay that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood hay and stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work for what sort it is."
Jesus is the rock on which we must stand, He is the foundation we must build upon, gold, silver, and precious stones, representing the precious things of God, and hay and stubble, representing the things of the world. We must become a new person in Christ Jesus and do away with the old man or woman. We cannot be happy trying to hold on to things that represent the world and to God at the same time, we cannot serve two masters, we must weed out the hay and stubble and cling to the good things of God, remember we are the temple of God and we must keep His temple clean.
When the day of testing comes, all that is not Christ like shall be burned away, let us pray that the Holy Spirit will help us reconize if we are listening to the world, instead of God.
Have a great day and a good weekend, stay warm.
Love to all.
